Camarena Reposado Tequila

Camarena Reposado Tequila comes from the Familia Camarena brand of Jalisco, Mexico, whose current label carries the signatures of Mauricio and Juan Carlos Camarena and NOM 1596. It is made from 100% blue agave and rested for 60 days in Tennessee whiskey barrels. That short stay in wood gives the tequila its golden colour and adds soft vanilla and caramel to the natural sweetness of the agave. Reposado means 'rested', and the resting makes the spirit mellower and smoother. The brand suggests it for bolder, smooth cocktails and recommends mixing it with tangy fruit, coffee or fresh herbs such as mint, basil and cilantro. Bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle.
